Prima Școală Românească

The First Romanian School stands in the Schei district of Brasov, beside Saint Nicholas Church, and is an important museum dedicated to the history of education and written culture in the Romanian language. The complex preserves old rooms where, according to tradition, teaching was first carried out in Romanian, at a time when instruction was done in other languages. Here worked the deacon Coresi, who printed the first books in the Romanian language in the sixteenth century, an essential moment for national culture.

The museum holds old manuscripts, rare books, printing presses and objects linked to the beginnings of the Romanian school and printing. The passionate guiding of the custodians brings this remarkable history to life. Set in the picturesque Schei district at the foot of the hills, the First Romanian School is a valuable stop for those interested in the roots of Romanian cultural identity.
